How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- observing that failure to object at trial waives the issue for review unless fundamental error occurred
- noting that Rule 404(b)\is designed to prevent the jury from making the 'forbidden inference' that prior wrongful conduct suggests present guilt.\
- determining that defendant waived error by objecting on one ground at trial and arguing different ground on appeal where he argued on appeal improper admission of evidence based upon Rule 404(b
- observing that the law is well settled that a defendant may not argue one ground for objection at trial and then raise new grounds on appeal, the defendant made no claim at trial that evidence of the burglary did not fit any of the 404(b
- noting defendant failed to show how introduction of character evidence amounted to fundamental error
- deeming waived Halliburton’s claim that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting improper Evidence Rule 404(B) evidence of a prior burglary when, “at trial[,] Halliburton objected to testimony concerning the prior burglary on [Evidence Rule 403] grounds”
